Kisi Ki Aankhon Ka Zikr chheDen Ajib Kuchh Pur-Waqar Aankhen

Poet

kisi ki ankhon ka zikr chheḌen ajiib kuchh pur-vaqar ankhen

magar ḳhuda vasta na Daale baḌi hi be-e’tibar ankhen

numa.ishi rasm-e-parda-dari rahegi jab tak to ye bhi hoga

naqab sarkegi jab zara bhi uThengi be-iḳhtiyar ankhen

jahan jahan rabt-e-chashm-o-dil hai vahan vahan baat chal rahi hai

nahin to bazm-e-ḳhamoshan men hazar dil hain hazar ankhen

naqab uTThi to apna aalam na tark-e-jalva na tab-e-jalva

nazar uThi baar baar lekin jhapak ga.iin baar baar ankhen

nazar mila kar nazar bacha kar nazar badal kar nazar chura kar

namuna ban ban ke kah rahi hain haqiqat-e-rozgar ankhen

kisi se iz.har-e-mudda.a par mira vo ḳhauf-o-hiras ‘mahshar’

kisi ki vo tez tez sansen kisi ki vo be-qarar ankhen
